Gilman defensive tackle Henry Poggi has been selected to play in the 2013 Under Armour All-America High School Football Game and will receive his honorary jersey when the Under Armour selection tour visits the school Thursday morning.

Poggi, an All-Metro defensive tackle who doubles as a tight end, is the No. 1 recruit from the Baltimore area in the Class of 2013. He is rated the fifth-best defensive tackle in the country and is the No. 4 recruit overall in Maryland, according to Rivals.com. Poggi, whose No. 1 Greyhounds are 3-2 after playing one of the toughest early schedules in the country, is the third Gilman player selected for the game following Darius Jennings two years ago and Cyrus Jones, Jr. last season.

The senior will head to Florida for the sixth-annual Under Armour All-America game, Jan. 4 at 5 p.m. at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. The game will be televised on ESPN.
